If I haven't seen this on FB, I wouldn't have noticed. Then when I read more I found out why, coz it's still some distance away from Manila. Some people say they felt it though. I dunno, maybe I'm not just sensitive.
Why this is even in the news? The earthquake had a magnitude of just 5.9, and it had a depth of 43 km. This means that the number of casualties are likely to be very low. Also, the epicenter was some 70 km away from Manila in the South China Sea.

We've been experiencing a series of earthquakes in various regions here in the Philippines, that's why people are nervous even about the smallest tremors.
